Chapter 346 Official Activities
In fact, Gu Qingge had also seen a movie about snipers in her original world that left a deep impression on her. Its name was also "Enemy at the Gates", starring Jude Law.
Of course, this film cannot be savored too carefully. The more you savor it, the more you will find that it is very anti-Soviet.
However, the part about the sniper confrontation between snipers is still very exciting, which can make the audience feel very excited and enjoyable.
Therefore, if possible, she also hopes that this part of the plot about sniper confrontation can be presented to the audience in this world.
Gu Qingge now possesses expert-level directing skills. She is fully capable of replicating the wonderful shots in her mind. Even if she were to discuss this with the world's great directors, she would be able to make sense of it.
Of course, this is based on the premise that she can finally pass the audition and qualify to play the role of "Luo Ying".
After the news of the military blockbuster "Enemy at the Gates" being launched spread throughout the film industry, many actors have taken action, wanting to participate in such a big-budget movie at all costs.
Its director has also been confirmed. He is a commercial blockbuster director named "Lei Heng". This director has a nickname "Explosion Lei" because he particularly likes to create large explosion scenes in movies.
"Enemy at the Gates", which depicts China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, is undoubtedly a very suitable role for Lei Heng. As long as he can shoot scenes that make the audience feel excited, the box office of this military blockbuster will not be low.
After the director was confirmed, the film became even more attractive to the actors!
Those actresses who had worked with director Lei Heng were so happy that they all felt they had a chance.
When choosing a heroine, Lei Heng likes to pick a vase-type one, who is pleasing to the eye and does not require too much acting skills.
Because the highlights of his previous films were not the heroines, but the big scenes. The plots of his films have always been simple and crude, with explosions as the only thing that matters.
If we compare it to online literature, then Lei Heng is a typical novice writer who can write exciting articles that make readers feel very satisfied.
But at the same time, there are also many people who complain about him, thinking that what he produces has no artistic value.
Therefore, director Lei Heng is not liked by film critics. The more the critics complain that his films lack depth, the more popular his films become, which makes the critics very unhappy.
"Director Lei, do you think I'm suitable for the role of Luo Ying, the protagonist of 'Enemy at the Gates'? I've worked with you twice before, and both of our collaborations were very pleasant." An actress named "Chen Xinyi" took the initiative to contact Lei Heng as soon as she learned that he was officially selected to direct this military blockbuster.
Chen Xinyi is a new quasi-first-line movie star, and the reason why she was able to reach the quasi-first-line status is also related to her previous appearances in two of Lei Heng's films.
The box office of both movies was very good, which naturally increased Chen Xinyi's status in the film industry.
Chen Xinyi also showed off her charm in those two movies. As a vase, she was really outstanding. She is a sexy and hot actress.
When Lei Heng saw the message sent by the other party, he subconsciously wanted to reject the other party. What a joke, the legendary heroine "Luo Ying" is not qualified to be played by a slut like you?
This time, "Enemy at the Gates" does not need a vase-type actress, but one with excellent acting skills who can perform the heroic spirit of "Luo Ying". Otherwise, the director will definitely be criticized by the authorities and complained by the public, not to mention the film critics, who will probably scold him to death.
Lei Heng doesn't care about the reviews of film critics, but he still values the public's reputation, because he makes movies for the box office. If the public doesn't like it, then the box office will definitely be over.
He also attaches great importance to the movie "Enemy at the Gates" and is ready to use all his abilities to make it well, satisfy the officials and make the public like it.
"The movie 'Enemy at the Gates' is very special. As a director, I don't have the power to choose the cast. If you want to play this role, it's useless to look for me." Lei Heng responded to Chen Xinyi.
Chen Xinyi was naturally very disappointed when she saw this reply. She didn't expect that she took the initiative to contact Lei Heng but didn't even get a chance to audition.
However, when she found out that the producers of "Enemy at the Gates" had actually released the list of actresses invited to audition, she no longer had the idea of competing for the role.
One film queen and two TV queens, they are all relatively young, and the roles they played before were very decent and well-received. Their acting skills have been widely recognized by the industry and the public!
"The film queen Huang Siting was actually invited to audition for this role. She is the most popular actress of Qingtian Entertainment, one of the four major companies, and a top-tier actress. It seems that this role should belong to her." Chen Xinyi thought helplessly.
The decision by the producers of "Enemy at the Gates" to publicly list the actresses for audition was obviously authorized by the authorities. For a mega-budget film like this, the authorities will not miss any opportunity to promote it.
Even though this method breaks the rules a bit, which actress would dare to resent the authorities?
Not only did the official list become public, but they also planned to broadcast the auditions live, allowing the audience to participate in the voting!
However, this vote is only a reference for the casting team established by the official propaganda department.
But there is no doubt that this method of allowing the audience to participate in the casting of a big-budget movie naturally makes everyone extremely excited——
"Our Chinese propaganda department has pulled out another big trick this time! We're so excited to have at least one official blockbuster every year!"
"I feel like this audition process could be turned into a variety show, watching those actresses fight for the role and how they finally get it."
"It seems that the audition process will last for a while, and the invited actresses will undergo various military trainings so as to cultivate their military temperament."
"This approach is really great. It's true that only actresses who have undergone military training are qualified to play a legendary heroine like Luo Ying. Otherwise, they definitely won't be able to play her well. You know, Luo Ying is a military academy student."
"Our publicity department has always been very strong, and this time it really didn't disappoint the public. I feel that this "Enemy at the Gates" will be very interesting!"
"I think Huang Siting is a lock for the Best Actress award. Her acting is truly superb. She also seemed to have responded positively to the official announcement, saying that in order to play Luo Ying well, she was ready to endure hardships, even if it meant learning to drive a tank, she would do it without hesitation!"
